When viewing files in thumbnail mode in Windows Explorer, there is a limit. In Windows XP, Explorer can only show thumbnails for up to 4,096 (4K) files. After that, files begin showing either a completely white image or the icon of the program associated with that file-type.<\/p>\n
Which<\/em> files are given a thumbnail or not is determined by the order in which they are displayed. For example, if a folder containing 5,096 files is put in thumbnail mode and the first 2,048 files are viewed, then End<\/kbd> is pressed and the list is scrolled up, the first and last 2,048 files are given a thumbnail and the middle 1,000 files are left blank. (Of course if the list is scrolled around with the scroll-bar, then seemingly \u201crandom\u201d blocks of files here and there may be left blank.)<\/p>\n (There may or may not be a limit in Windows 7 as well. A test will be done and results will be added.)<\/p>\n When viewing files in thumbnail mode in Windows Explorer, there is a limit.
